    You realize that war causes huge population booms after they end?

    They still are, Democrats just like to try and claim otherwise because it's now politically expedient to do so.

    I think you missed the date on those tweets, here's something a bit more recent on that. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2022/09/12/russias-air-force-goes-missing-at-the-worst-possible-time-during-ukraines-counteroffensive/

    Given that in that time the southern front has all but collapsed, I am guessing not.

    That would be a full on act of war against N.A.T.O, so no, they aren't going to do that.

    I'm guessing you don't realize that Russia's troops in Lyman were utterly destroyed in the time between you making the previous statement and this one.

    Ukrainian channels that might be offering actual information that are available to the public have been completely silent outside of the occasional picture taken and posted in a newly liberated town/city. So try again.

    No... No it wouldn't... The US has the trainers, equipment, and ready locations to pull off mobilization if needed. And yes... Yes they do...

    You apparently missed the name on that, given we have independent confirmation of exactly how many of his platoon were actually killed. Also note that that article is from nearly three weeks ago, which was when Ukraine was still making Russia think Kherson was the main thrust of their counter...

    You might want to read your own article. Denys, sitting upright on his hospital bed, said almost every member of his 120-person unit was injured, though only two were killed. A 25-year-old soldier being treated for shrapnel wounds said that, within his unit of 100 soldiers, seven were killed...

    Except... It's Russia loosing troops at a 5 to 1 ratio... And it was Russian troops who had the upwards of 40% equipment loss in the Kharkov rout. Third not Sixth. Ukraine puts each group through roughly three months training before sending them out into the field fully equipped. Which is...

    Yes, but then they would need to import Chinese shells to go with those Chinese artillery instead of using their own. Also, China's not up for selling to Russia.

    Russia's already at the point they can't really fight anymore... Their entire northern axis collapsed, their southern axis is pinned down and being run out of what few supplies they have left in Kherson, and the only reason the eastern axis is still even remotely intact is that Ukraine is...
